Sometimes I really doubt (怀疑) whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother's education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them, “I love you” is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.
One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, may I ask you a question?” I said. “What?” she replied, still doing her work. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer my question at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.
I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“ Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there."
I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. The doctor had said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him. "Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day. "Susan, don't worry about me." he said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Karl Landsteiner first thought of naming blood types in 1900. He put blood into four types. These four blood types were named A, B, AB, and O. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the second most common. and type AB is the least common.
Doctors try to give blood to a person according to the person’s blood type. Blood type O can be given to a person with any other blood type, but doctors also need to make sure that the “RH factor (因子)” in patients’ blood matches the blood they are given. If people have one kind of protein (蛋白质)in their blood, they are RH positive (Rh+). If people do not have the protein, they are Rh negative (Rh-). Most people are Rh+.
If a mother has an Rh- blood type, she may have trouble when she has a baby. If her baby is Rh+, the baby’s blood may mix with the mother’s blood before the baby is born. The mother’s blood will change. If the mother has another Rh+ baby, the mother’s blood will attack the baby’s blood. The baby may die or become sick. Doctors have to watch the mother and baby carefully in these cases.

“How are you?” is a nice question .It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine ”isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes ,people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone Asks “Do you agree?” ,the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now. ”Often, the person who wants to hang up gives and excuse:“ Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite ,and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.

Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced(有经验的) astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “We’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.” “They’re the last people I’d trust(信任),” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused(拒绝) to go.”
Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs(维修). When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked.
